Wild Child (2020)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

From the vast expanse of land and sky comes a wild child with a camel into the city. They encounter a policeman who is fascinated by this mysterious child seemingly isolated from human contact and culture. The policeman tries to establish communication through language without success. As he learns more about the child, the latter inspires him to let go and find his long-lost freedom. Conventional interactions between people mask our true instincts and qualities that only emanate when we return to the basics.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
